Xadow strap for Pebble Time

Process Updating…Thu Mar 26

We’d like to introduce the initial design we will put on xadow & pebble. before we dive into this section, let’s come back and review the concept design last time.

This cool self replication sketch is one of the result of our brain storm.

pro: every brink is the same, easy to assemble
con: the free space between each piece is limited

A workaround way design the shell rather than the brick itself, we place a two-brick length shell wrap up the bricks, the opposite shell will be shift by one brick to make the structure stable.

pro: neat
con: it’s impossible in practical

We find our idea in our daily life. The connector of the loose-leaf binder inspired us, this is relatively traditional design. The following design is also so common: the zipper! It’s too much beyond our imagination, isn’t it?

There are 3 designs in this one. The left one comes from the average watch design. The middle upper one is fastened to a surface where is connected. The right one cleverly uses a silicone parts connecting them.

After several iterations, The “工” like connector is replaced with a “I” like, which makes more space for flexible uses.

What we learn from the wearable design iteration? What is our next step? Just keep an eye on our series next time.
